In my case, I'm still in 578, so I could always modify what comes later. However, Gygax's original uses "fighting population" for demi-humans (p. 18 in the Glossography), but apparently uses "total population" for humans (p. 3), also implied by the calculations to determine the fighting population (10%, etc). LGG references the DMG for determining population (p. 19). I don't have the D&D 3 DMG, but the DMG 3.5 version defines the community populations as "Adult Population", not "All Population" (see table 5-2), so I assume that the figures follow that definition.
Either way, even if you're right, my text (which is rather vague) would still be right, even if I have to modify my endnotes (which are detailed). I'm open to changing my mind.
BTW, Someone actually read my tome. Hurrah! |
